FAITH *UPDATED WEAPONS* Intro: Welcome to Faith. Faith is a symmetrical map I made awhile ago, but couldn’t post due to numerous reasons. Anyways, Faiths unique structural design makes for interesting gameplay and beautiful aesthetics. I designed the center of this map to blow up in your face with beauty…Just give it a minute or so. Approximately 2 minutes into the game the center will light up and an Energy sword will appear in the middle. I’m possible that I have created a center-piece that tops all of my previous center-pieces. Faith is such a unique map, that even the overview looks beautiful. Design: Now, let me explain the design of Faith. This isn’t your average “Box” map, if you know what I mean. This map has five rooms, one is red spawn, one is blue spawn two are neutral and the last one is the main room. Each room is connected by hallways that bend, so there are no long lines of sight. All four rooms on the outside connect to the center (The main room). In the center runs a bridge, which for some reason I do a lot with my maps. Anyways, blue spawn and red spawn have a ladder, (Located down the hall to the left of blue and red spawn.) to access the bridge level. I tried to get creative with this map and make it very unique. The purple glow in the center of the map illuminates everything around it giving off an essence/ vibe of peace and tranquility. So, tell me what you think. Feel free to download, comment and be sure to leave feedback, thanks. Weapons: x2 Needle rifle x2 DMR x4 Health pack x2 Magnum x1 Concussion Rifle (Respawn: 100) x1 Energy sword (Respawn: 100) Now, the screenshots: Bottom Middle. Neutral room. Top, middle bridge. Red spawn. Blue spawn. Roof of the top of the map and top middle. The OVERVIEW.
I find the number and placement of the spawns a little disturbing. People could very easily begin to get spawn-camped. I would at the very least distribute some more around each room, so that the would-be campers won't know exactly which direction people will be spawning from.
Some of these pictures were taken out of forge so you can't see the other spawns that ARE there but don't appear to be. The spawning will be fine. The overview shot isn't that clear due to lableing so you can't see the spawns. Thanks for the concern though.
Looks good Eightball i will give it a download. I should definately forge with you sometime. Who knows what we could come up with? I also updated pursuit you should check it out
Awesome map! Thanks for giving me a tour earlier! I really liked the stars on top and bottom of the mid, this is a simple map very nicely forged with a nice choice of items. I like the decorative walls and the aesthetics. The ladders also look and move perfect. Much better way of presenting the two one way shield lift. Great work!
Thanks timmy, I appreciate that. I really wanted to make this map as unique as possible and I think I did an ok job. Thanks again for you support.
I really like your middle center piece, reminds me of the one I put on mine, Solarity. The rest of the map is really neat as well I love those block 1x4 pieces they are really beautiful. I also really appreciate the windows, they add to the overall atmosphere and add to the sense of where you are. Excellent map Octo-Sphere, so much personality!
Haha, thanks Ociee. I'm glad you like it. I didn't go overboard with the windows seeing as it causes framerate issues. I put in the right amount. Thanks again you for your support.
Looks great, Eightball! I wish I had Live so I could play this Not only does the map look nice, but I really want to commend you on the layout. It has a nice circular flow, and there doesn't seem to be any singular overpowering spot. A couple of comments on your weapon choices though - I'd probably set the Sword to at least a 120-second respawn. 65 seems a little fast for me. Also, since it's Covenant-themed, have you ever considered replacing the Grenade Launcher with a Concussion Rifle? Just my personal preference, and I'll like to see what you think about it. The Concussion would be a nice counter to the sword because it can blast the sword wielder away. Also, no Plasma Pistols, Plasma Rifles/Repeaters, or Needlers? Again, just my personal preference. I'd love to have any of those weapons available on a Covie map. The relative close quarters would be great for those too. Kudos on the great map! I can't wait to see what else you have cooking.
Thanks man, you make a valid point. Although, this isn't technically a covey based map. I wanted to spread the human weapons out along with covey. I will seriously consider making the sword spawn later and changing the grenade launcher to a Concussion rifle. I will, probably in fact do that. Thank you for your support and very good suggestions. [br][/br]Edited by merge: There you go. Instead of a Nade launcher I put a Concussion Rifle. And set the sword to re-spawn at 100 seconds. Hope that makes gameplay a bit more interesting.
Its unusual for a sword to be used up in 65 seconds and it wont respawn there unless dropped or ran out so it shouldn't be an issue. Also you don't need to be xbox gold, silver is enough to download maps if there is internet connection.
This map has a nice center piece which I find to be very pleasing to look at...although I find the rest of the map to be repetivitve and show much less gameplay and aesthetic value to the map which could cause it become borin g and uninteresting as timepasses...although I do think the gameplay would be good and play good because the weapon choices...
Think of the center-piece of kinda like a...refreshment..If you will. You go around the map and it seems alittle boring, BUT wait! You turn the corner and look at the center of the map and you find it refreshing to look at. That's the way I think about it. Really, this map is simple and the middle will most likely be the main "Point of Action". So, you won't be spending a whole lot of time in the walkways or rooms.
